A sponsor for Belgian side Royal Antwerp have ended their deal with the club following Antwerp's decision to hire former Ajax director Marc Overmars.
Overmars stepped down from his role at Ajax six weeks ago after admitting 'unacceptable' behaviour after leaks within the club exposed messages to fellow employees from the Dutchman. Evidence showed Overmars had sent inappropriate messages, and even photographs, to multiple women who worked at Ajax.
But the 48-year-old was announced as the new director of Antwerp on Monday despite still being subject to an independent investigation in the Netherlands. And the Belgian club are set to lose one of their sponsorship deals as a result.
